Worlds 2023 Skins – Eligibility Criteria

After winning a World Championship, the players are given a special Lol Worlds skin for each player on the winning roster. This tradition has been going on since the start of League of Legends, with Fnatic becoming the first team to get team-specific skins.

Back in 2018, however, Riot pushed out the conditions for a champion to be eligible to be selected for a Worlds skin.

  • The player must have played at least one game on that champion during the tournament.
  • If the team already has a skin for that champion from a previous Worlds winner, Riot may ask the player to choose another champion that jumped on Summoner’s Rift at Worlds.

Given the increasing number of Worlds skins, there have been a few situational criteria that might arise depending on the choice. For example, if a champion has a particular skin already in development, the player can be asked to make another choice to avoid overlapping releases for the same pick. Even though it’s an extreme scenario, it can happen.

With Worlds 2023 coming to an end and T1 lifting the trophy, below are the champions selected by the team for their limited edition skins.

Release date for T1 Worlds 2023 skins leaked

According to a leak, the new T1 Worlds 2023 Team Skins are set to be released with the launch of LoL patch 14.16.

Based on the official Riot Games Lol patch schedule, the planned date should be August 14, 2024. The skins have been released in the Public Beta Environment (PBE).

Explanation behind T1’s World Skin Choices

Gumayusi already stated at the Worlds post-game press conference that he will be going with Jinx. After him, Zeus mentioned he’s considering one between Jayce and Yone as one has always been his pocket pick while Yone has been the signature pick at the world championship. In the end, the top laner decided to go for his preferred pick, Jayce.

Keria, on the other hand, stated he would like to pick Lux. But given that he didn’t play games on her at Worlds, he has been looking to make a choice between Renata Glasc and Bard.

The Korean support has struggled to confirm the champion that will receive the skin: he initially went with Bard before switching to Renata Glasc after a poll on Instagram. When everyone expected Renata to be locked in, Keria made yet another switch and confirmed Bard as the final answer, contacting Riot past the deadline to make the final change.

Oner also raised his number of eligible champions to 7 thanks to the Lee Sin and Nocturne picks in the World Finals. Given his love for the Blind Monk, it was almost certain the T1 jungler would want his own SKT Lee Sin skin, something he also confirmed at the post-game conference. If Oner got his Lee Sin, it would be the second one after the one earned by Bengi back in 2013 with T1’s first-ever world title.

Prior to the start of the final, Faker had only played three different champions until then: Azir, Orianna, and Sylas. Two of them already have a Worlds skin: Orianna got it from TPA while Azir was chosen by Easyhoon back when he was on SKT.

While he initially was going to choose Ahri, Faker, just like Keria, also made a late change by choosing Orianna. The Korean mid explained his choice by saying that Ahri already has too many skins already. With Orianna confirmed, this will be the second Worlds skin the champion receives, following the one by TPA back in 2013.

So this is the list of champions and the confirmed choices for the Worlds skins! What will the skins look like? We’ll find out later this year.
